WINDOW-SCREEN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 582,450, dated May 11, 1897.

Application filed June 26, 1896. Serial No. 597,021. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, ALBERT F. BEANDEN- BURG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window-Screens; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyin g drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in window-screens; and it consists of a screen suspended within and from the window-casing for the purpose of hiding persons within the room from View and not interfere with a free ventilation of the apartment.

I accomplish this object by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is an elevation of a window-frame with the device attached. Fig. 2 is a top view of the wire supporting-frame.

Like letters and numerals designate like parts in the two views.

At A is represented the usual form of window-frame with the facings attached, and B is the usual form of roller-curtain.

In using the device the lower sash is raised and the curtain is raised to near the top of the inner or improved screen.

The screen-frame is of two identical parts formed of wire and supported from both sides of the window. The inner pivotal ends are held in the plates 1 and 2, attached to the facing. Each of the side frames comprises the two parts E and F. The part E is formed of one wire, the long straight part is bent out ward at a right angle, the circular eyes 3 are formed, and extending a distance from these eyes pivots are formed, which are supported in the plates attached to the acings. The

wire F comprises bends at a rig t angle, and the ends are bent outwardly at right angles to form the pivots 4 and 5, and these enter the eyes formed in the part E, and the up-,

frame by the elastic strap 8, and when the two parts of the frame overlap at the center the same are bound together by said hook. The top View of the frame, Fig. 2, shows the frame when it is thrown back against the wall, and the dotted lines E F show the position in relation to the window in which the outer part of the frame is parallel with the window. In this position the lower part of the window is covered, the screen being located at a distance from the window sufficiently to secure uninterrupted ventilation, at the same time hiding from view the 00011- pant of the apartment.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim is 1. The jointed wire frame hinged to the window-facings, and comprising the part E composed of the vertical body and the horizontal arms with pivotal ends and eyes formed at the junction of the horizontal and vertical parts, and the part F composed of the vertical body and the horizontal arms adapted to engage said eyes, substantially as described.

2. The jointed wire frame hinged to the window-facings and comprising the part E composed of the vertical body and the horizontal arms with eyes formed at the junction of the body and arms, the part F composed of the vertical body and the horizontal arms adapted to engage said eyes, and the thumb-nut to bind the upper joint, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ALBERT F. BRANDENBURG.
